Throughout time and across cultures, human beings have taken elements from the earth and created works of art. Many of these materials and techniques are still used by artists today. Programs for children and families at the Carlos Museum provide opportunities for children to learn from artists of the ancient world in the galleries and from some of Atlanta’s best practicing artists in the studio.
Workshops for Children
Children's workshops will resume in the fall. Please check back in late August for the 2012-13 schedule. |
The Office of Educational Programs offers innovative and engaging workshops in which children and their families explore the collections and exhibitions at the Museum. Through in-gallery experiences and art projects, children learn about the arts and cultures of the world.
Family ConcertsThe Carlos Museum offers an exciting series of chamber music concerts for children and families performed by The Emory Chamber Music Society of Atlanta and special guest artists. Family concerts are a wonderful way to introduce children of all ages to chamber music in the intimate space of the Carlos Museum's Reception Hall. Concerts last for approximately one hour. For dates and times for specific concerts, please visit the Museum's online calendar of events.

Artful Stories at the Museum
|
When ancient art, great stories, and inquisitive children are brought together something exciting happens and young imaginations flourish! Beginning this fall, the Carlos Museum will be offering a new program for children three to five years old accompanied by a parent or other adult. Once a month on select Saturdays, children will be able to sit in the galleries surrounded by works of art and hear stories of ancient Greece, Egypt, Asia, and the Americas read by Emory faculty and Museum curators and staff. After the story, children and their companions will move to the Tate Room to create works of art based on the story and the cultures represented in our collections.
Camp Carlos 2012The Michael C. Carlos Museum celebrates 19 years of providing exceptional summer programs in which children and teenagers explore the human impulse to create works of art. Camp Carlos offers participants imaginative and innovative opportunities to explore the ways in which people throughout time and across cultures have created works of art. All sessions of camp include studio activities with some of Atlanta's best practicing visual and performing artists, and visits to the Carlos Museum galleries, where campers learn from artists of the ancient world.
